I have as well. I would prefer a Toyota, but my wife now drives a Honda due to the lack of a Toyota dealership in my area with even a modicum of customer service.

Bore sighting will get you on paper. You'll need to do the rest via shoot, adjust, repeat. I like to shoot a 3 shot group instead of just one shot at a time, to make sure It isn't my fault I didn't hit the mark.   I use Garufa's method to sight in scopes for any rifle I can lay on a sandbag and see through the bore; single shots, bolt actions, ARs, etc. It works as well as the laser gadgets in my opinion.

I would suggest a TWRA hunter safety education course. It teaches the very basics of firearm operation, as well as firearm safety. It is also FREE if I remember correctly.

And people like you will be the ruin of this once great nation! :stick: Are you a lawyer, or just one of those folks who just don't want to earn anything?

Must have been the cloud that hailed on me while I was mowing my yard yesterday. :rant: That stuff hurts!

Why would you see an attorney? Go somewhere else and buy a truck.   I've done it several times for various reasons.

Do you have any proof of this? My tumbler gently rolls brass around in a circle. It can't be as bad for it as who knows how many thousands of hours/miles it has been hauled around it how many countries in the back or a truck, in a plane, boat, horse, camel, etc.

Yes sir. I have two of them. I would also suggest buying one larger than you think you need.

I'd urge you to spend a few extra bucks and buy a Liberty safe.   Compare one to the Winchester and Canon and you'll see why.

Most any dies will work fine. I like Lee dies. I would suggest paying the few extra bucks for dies with a carbide sizing button. Then you won't need to lube your cases.   The first thing you should buy is a good reloading manual. Read it. It will answer many of your questions.   Then, as you have specific questions, we will be happy to help.

I've never heard of this organization. What are they supposed to be doing?

I'd like to hear an update when you get some miles on it. I spent more time under my last Dodge trcuk than I did driving it. Maybe times have changed.

Whadda ya got in mind to build?

Try a soft lead hollow base wadcutter in it. The hollow bases, in theory, obturate to fit the throats and barrel.

I'd like that bed on a Ford truck.

I have done that once or twice recently.

Yet another reason why I shoot at home.

$400-$500 in good condition. That will be a great shooter.

You should be banned from owning lever action rifles all together. :shake:   :D

That number will get you a either a roofer or a plumber in the Nashville area. I remember the radio ads, but forget which business it's for.

Today's gunshow atendee isn't the same as a few years ago. For the most part, I do not like the change, and haven't been to a show in quite a while. I'm not saying I'll never go to another one, but I'm not going to all of them within driving distance like I used to.

A Williams or Skinner Peep Sight is the way to go in my opinion. The main allure of a lever is that it's easy to carry, and a scope negates that.

Commercial bullet manufacturers have elaborate ballistic labratories staffed with high quality engineers. They do not produce certain size bullets for certain calibers just by chance or guess.

I have a Model 14 American Classic Savage, and I've only shot it a couple of times, I believe it will produce good accuracy with a bit of load development.

I think it's prettier than the run of the mill Savage too. Mine is chambered in 250-3000, but I would expect good accuracy from a 308 as well.

I live out in the country, and shoot here as well. I find it inconvenient to go to the store and buy ammo or reloading components each time I want to shoot a gun. Local stores often do not carry most of the calibers I shoot anyway. I find it economical to be "stocked up" at all times. When something I use becomes low, I'll make one trip to the store, or online order to restock several things.
